In the current health and human service market, executives face their fair share of uncertainty. This leads many executive teams to either avoid or reluctantly initiate any major strategic initiatives that require long-term commitments. Unfortunately, “waiting for the dust to settle,” so to speak, isn’t a wise management choice. Regardless of the specifics of what lies ahead in the market, there are future developments that are likely and need to be addressed in the planning process. A successful strategic planning process will provide your organization with a roadmap – not only for developing plans in uncertain times, but also for putting those plans into action and evaluating their success.

This readings book will covers OPEN MINDS‘ approach to strategy development, including:

The readings book includes a curated selection of articles and resources from the OPEN MINDS Circle Library, as well as the most recent presentation deck from OPEN MINDS’ best practices seminar on strategic planning.
